Peter Callesen

Peter Callesen’s work has interested me for some time. Perhaps it is some sort of envy for someone who has that much patience to create something so beautiful. The intricately of his work is astonishing as well as it’s simplicity. He usually only uses pain white paper in his work with a plain coloured background. He is interested in the relationship between 2d and 3d. Each work tells a story or is a drama of some kind. Figures are often lost in the vast paper environment Peter Callesen creates for them.

Everything in his work always has an origin or a shadow. It’s a bit like watching someone reveal the magicians secrets only afterwards you’re more amazed by how it’s done than the trick itself.
